Dearest Mother

"Don't you recognize me, darling?"

"How are you still alive?" the blonde whispered in shock.

Orion let the veins crawl down his cheeks, then sassily joked, "You tell me, my love."

Feelings both of anger, love and upset, adoration flooded her body.

Anger, for how this wizard had just left her for another. Especially when Alyss had told him she was with child.

Love, because she really did love this now transitioned wizard and nothing could really change that.

Upset, by how she felt about herself and the thoughts that could ever flow through her mind just because he wasn't with her.

Adoration, for just what he had given her at the end of it all, his existence throughout or not.
